One of the special events on the program will be a concert of religious vocals, to be presented in our church next Sunday, April 24th, at 3:00 pm. The group, called Pilgrim Ensemble, comes here as a courtesy of the Korean Association of New York, in tribute to the special milestone being celebrated by our Korean parishioners. An invitation is extended to one and all to attend this special musical program next weekend. This past Monday, a contingent of volunteers from our Food Pantry (and other Catholic pantries) were treated to a thank-you luncheon by the regional office (Queens North) of Catholic Charities. We are grateful for the partnership we share with Catholic Charities in providing our twiceweekly feeding ministry here.
